Ordinary Child’s latest single is a heartfelt pop anthem that’s sweetly melodic, with a driving groove and a great sense of dynamics. A gripping single with a distinctive flavor.
Ordinary Child is based in Casa Grande, Arizona. Composer, singer, and songwriter, Ordinary Child has a special sound that he flaunts on ‘Piece of Mind’, his latest single. A blend of electronics and soulful singing that channels Abel Tesfaye’s The Weeknd, interesting synth leads, twisted beyond recognition, calling to mind the contorted synths on Keane’s songs, and an amalgam of personal flairs that include rhythmic tricks and chopping up vocals.
Ordinary Child’s music is intricate and his songwriting is rich and compelling. The simple chords that make up ‘Piece of Mind’, with their sweet simplicity, only tell half the story, with the other half left to the production and the nuanced arrangement. Clean and lush guitars, a driving beat, and a throbbing bass line, all hammer alongside the leads and the processed, soulful vocals. The song’s melodic composition is laced with a hopeful sense of melancholy, creating a sonic environment that’s inviting and warm. The fantastic slowing down on the tempo on the song’s latest third is a strike of genius that elevates the song into a progressive composition that’s immensely rewarding and special.
A beautifully dreamt up and executed piece, Ordinary Child’s latest single was recorded in the artist’s home studio. Another fresh testament to what a gifted artist can do in their living rooms, ‘Piece of Mind’ is inspiring on an array of different levels.
